Hello All,
I was up in Chicago for a short weekend trip. My wife and I went to the
Field Museum. On display in their rare book room was "Process of Wood-Cut
Printing" by Katsukawa Shunsho. It is 127 pairs of prints, individual print
of the 127 woodblocks and progression. It is very impressive, and all I
could see was one pair. It would be amazing to leaf thru, or as it is
accordian style, fold out the entire length.
You can see a little information here:http://www.fieldmuseum.org/research_collections/anthropology/anthro_sites/anthro3/asia/thumbnail_japan.htm
Anyone know if this has been reproduced anywhere? I did a google and
bookfinder search, and came up empty.

I have been a bit of a lurker lately, but I have been very very busy with
print-related things. I will be hosting a print sale at my studio, Spudnik
Press, December 1st, and wanted to invite all of you to send work in. I know
that it might not be as desirable because most of you are out of town, and
shipping isn't free, but the offer is there. Find out more about this sale,
and what you need to send in submissions at www.spudnikpress.com under
"Announcements and Events" on the homepage.
